Ada X is a feminist, artist-run centre in Montreal committed to reshaping who gets to create, access, and define new media art. Founded in 1996 as Studio XX, it began as a call to action for women to claim space in the digital realm—back when the internet was still a frontier. Today, it supports trans, non-binary, queer, and women artists through residencies, exhibitions, educational programming, and public events that fuse DIY ethics with critical engagement. Its programming challenges tech’s exclusionary norms, often spotlighting free software, recycled materials, and feminist digital practices. As a bilingual hub, Ada X pushes back against the dominant narratives in both the art world and the tech sector, building alternatives from the ground up. Beyond Montreal, it fosters international collaborations and exchange, always with an eye on access, equity, and artistic autonomy. The name change in 2020 marked a new chapter, but its mission remains rooted in the same radical urgency that sparked its founding.
